Move the pointer into the upper- left part of the artboard see the red X in the figure. Press and drag down and to the right. When the gray measurement label next to the pointer shows a width of approximately 10 inches and a height of 7 inches, release the mouse button.

The shape will be selected. Note You can also create shapes by clicking the artboard with a shape tool and specifying shape properties before they are created. A checkmark next to the Smart Guides menu item means they are on. With the rectangle still selected, drag the bottom-middle point on the rectangle down until you see a height of approximately 8 inches in the gray measurement label next to the pointer.

Move the pointer over the blue circle in the center of the rectangle. When the pointer changes , drag it into the approximate center of the artboard. With the rectangle still selected, drag the upper-right corner widget toward the center of the rectangle. When the gray measurement label shows a value of approximately 0. A lot of the different types of shapes in Illustrator have widgets, like the corner widgets, for editing properties such as the number of sides on a polygon, adding pie angles to ellipses, and more.

Tip You can also round all of the corners independently. Applying and editing color Applying color to artwork is a common Illustrator task. Shapes you create can have a stroke border and can also be filled with a color. You can apply and edit swatches, which are the colors that come with each document by default, and create your own colors. In the panel that opens, make sure that the Swatches option is selected at the top to show the default swatches saved colors.

While you can use the default swatches, you can also create your own colors and save them as swatches to reuse them later. With the Swatches panel still showing, double-click the orange swatch you just applied to the shape to edit the color. Select Preview to see the change to the rectangle.

Click OK to save the change you made to the swatch. You can press the Escape key to do this. Press the Escape key to hide the Swatches panel. Editing strokes A stroke is the outline border of artwork like shapes and paths.

There are a lot of appearance properties you can change for a stroke, including width, color, dashes, and more. With the rectangle still selected, click the Stroke color box in the Properties panel.

Type Background, and press Return or Enter to change the layer name.

Naming layers can be helpful when organizing content. Currently, the rectangle you created is on this layer.

Click the Create New Layer button at the bottom of the Layers panel, to create a new, blank layer. Double-click the new layer name, Layer 2, and type Content. Press Return or Enter to change the layer name. By creating multiple layers in your artwork, you can control how overlapping objects are displayed. In the document, artwork on the Content layer will be on top of the artwork on the Background layer since the Content layer is above the Background layer in the Layers panel.

Click the eye icon to the left of the Background layer name to temporarily hide the rectangle on the background layer. Any new artwork will be added to the selected Content layer.

Select the Type tool in the Tools panel on the left, and click in a blank area toward the bottom of the artboard. Click the Properties panel tab in the upper-right corner of the application window to the right to show the panel. Click the Fill color box. In the panel that appears, make sure the Swatches button is selected at the top of the panel, and click to select the blue swatch you created in a previous step.

With the text selected, in the Properties panel on the right, change the Tracking value by selecting the value in the field and typing Press Return or Enter to accept the change.

Click More Options in the Character section to show more options. Creating shapes using the Shape Builder tool The Shape Builder tool is an interactive tool for creating complex shapes by merging and erasing simpler shapes. Press and hold down on the Rectangle tool in the Tools panel on the left. Select the Ellipse tool in the menu that appears. Above the text, drag to create an ellipse. See the figure for roughly how big to make it. Press the D key to apply the default color fill of white and a black stroke to the shape.

Click the stroke color in the Properties panel, and click the Color Mixer button at the top of the panel to make a new color. Press Return or Enter to hide the panel. Change the stroke weight in the Properties panel to 2.

Press and hold on the Ellipse tool, and select the Rectangle tool. Drag to create a small rectangle on top of the ellipse. See the first part of the following figure. To round the corners of the rectangle, drag any of the corner widgets toward the center of the shape.

Select the Selection tool in the Tools panel on the left, and drag the ellipse so it is center aligned with the rounded rectangle. A temporary vertical magenta guide may appear when they are aligned. The goal is to understand how to create and edit the shapes. They come in different shapes and sizes! Drag across both shapes to select them see the first part of the following figure. Select the Shape Builder tool in the Tools panel on the left.

Move the pointer where you see the red X in the middle part of the following figure. Release the mouse button and then the key.

Creating with the Curvature tool With the Curvature tool , you can draw and edit paths quickly and visually to create paths with smooth refined curves and straight lines. Select the Curvature tool in the Tools panel. Move the pointer into a blank area, away from the top of the acorn you just created. Click and release to start drawing a shape see the first part of the following figure. Move the pointer away see the second part of the figure. Click and release see the first part of the following figure to continue drawing a shape.

Move the pointer away and notice the path curving in different ways as you move it. Every time you click, you are creating what is called an anchor point. The anchor points you add control the shape of the path.

Move the pointer up and to the left, and when the path looks something like the figure, click and release to continue drawing the shape.

Move the pointer over where you first clicked. When the pointer shows a small circle next to it , click to close the path, creating a shape. Move the pointer over the point on the left, and when the pointer looks like this , double- click to make it a corner.

Do the same for the point on the right the first anchor point you created. Move the pointer over the point, and double-click to make it a corner as well. You now have all of the artwork you need to make the acorn.

Transforming artwork In Illustrator, there are a number of ways to move, rotate, skew, scale, and more—in other words transforming artwork so you can get it just the way you want. Select the Selection tool in the Tools panel on the left. Click the top of the acorn shape you created in a previous section.

Select the Eraser tool in the Tools panel on the left. Drag across the bottom of the artwork in a U shape to erase part of it. After releasing the mouse button, you will see the resulting shape. Drag across any remaining artwork below the acorn top to erase it see the figure at right. Select the Selection tool , and drag the top of the acorn onto the bottom of the acorn, centering them as best you can see the following acorn figure. Click the Arrange button towards the bottom of the Properties panel to the right of the document and choose Bring To Front to bring the top of the acorn on top of the bottom.

Press Option macOS or Alt Windows , and drag the right point on the box surrounding the shape to make it wider or narrower—whichever allows you to fit the top best. When it looks good, release the mouse button and then the key.

Note The figure shows making the top of the acorn a bit narrower. Drag across both acorn shapes to select them. Click the Fill color in the Properties panel on the right, and choose the None swatch to remove the white fill color. You can use the Shape Builder tool to fix that. Move the pointer where you see the red X in the following figure. Drag across the top shapes to combine them. Make sure not to drag into the bottom shape.

Working with symbols A symbol is reusable art stored in the Symbols panel. Symbols are useful because they can help you save time and can save on file size as well. You will now create a symbol from the acorn artwork. With the acorn shapes still selected, select the Selection tool.

Click the New Symbol button at the bottom of the panel to save the selected artwork as a symbol. If a warning dialog box appears, click OK as well.

The artwork now appears as a saved symbol in the Symbols panel, and the acorn on the artboard you used to create the symbol is now a symbol instance. From the Symbols panel, drag the acorn symbol thumbnail onto the artboard twice. Note Your acorn symbol instances may be in different locations than those in the figure. Also, the figure shows dragging the third symbol onto the artboard.

Click the X at the top of the Symbols panel group to close it. With one of the acorns selected, move the pointer just off of a corner. When the rotate arrows appear, drag to rotate the acorn. Click to select one of the other acorns and rotate it in the opposite direction. Double-click the red path of one of the acorn instances on the artboard to enter Isolation mode.

In the dialog box that appears, click OK. Tip You could have also clicked the Edit Symbol button in the Properties panel to the right of the document. Click the stroke border of the bottom part of the acorn to select it. Click the Stroke color in the Properties panel, and click the Color Mixer button at the top of the panel to make a new color.

After typing in the last value, press Return or Enter to make the change and also close the panel. Note If Send To Back is dimmed, then you are already set. Double-click in a blank area of the Document window to exit the editing Isolation mode, and notice that the other acorns have changed as well. Creating and editing gradients Gradients are color blends of two or more colors that you can apply to the fill or stroke of artwork.

When you turn on Pixel preview, Overprint preview is turned off. Pixel preview can be used to see how the artwork will look when it is rasterized and viewed on-screen in a web browser. An arrow is pointing to it in the figure. This is useful when you need to see all artboards in the document in one window and to edit content in any of those artboards in a zoomed-in view. It is in a free-floating group in the workspace.

The Navigator panel can be used in several ways, including the following: The red box in the Navigator panel, called the proxy view area, indicates the area of the document that is being shown. Type in a zoom value or click the mountain icons to change the magnification of your artwork.

Position the pointer inside the proxy view area of the Navigator panel. When the pointer becomes a hand , drag to pan to different parts of the artwork. Navigating artboards As you may recall, artboards contain printable artwork, similar to pages in Adobe InDesign.

You can use artboards to crop areas for printing or placement purposes. You can easily share content among designs, create multipage PDFs, and print multiple pages by creating more than one artboard.

Illustrator allows for up to 1, artboards within a single file depending on their size. Multiple artboards can be added when you initially create an Illustrator document, or you can add, remove, and edit artboards after the document is created.

Next, you will learn how to efficiently navigate a document that contains multiple artboards. Click Open to open the file. Notice that there are two artboards in the document that contain the designs for the front and back of a postcard. The artboards in a document can be arranged in any order, orientation, or artboard size—they can even overlap. Suppose that you want to create a four-page brochure. You can create different artboards for every page of the brochure, all with the same size and orientation.

They can be arranged horizontally or vertically or in whatever way you like. When you select artwork, it makes the artboard that the artwork is on the active, or selected, artboard. By choosing the Fit Artboard In Window command, the currently active artboard is fit into the Document window.

The active artboard is identified in the Artboard Navigation menu in the Status bar in lower-left corner of the Document window. Currently it is artboard 2.

Choose 1 from the Active Artboard menu in the Properties panel. Notice the arrows to the right of the Active Artboard menu in the Properties panel. You can use these to navigate to the previous and next artboards. Those arrows plus a few others also appear in the status bar below the document. Click the Next navigation button in the Status bar below the document to view the next artboard artboard 2 in the Document window. The Artboard Navigation menu and navigation arrows always appear in the Status bar below the document, but they appear in the Properties panel only when not in Artboard Editing mode, the Selection tool is selected, and nothing is selected.

Using the Artboards panel Another method for navigating multiple artboards is to use the Artboards panel. The Artboards panel lists all artboards currently in the document and allows you to navigate between artboards, rename artboards, add or delete artboards, edit artboard settings, and more. Note Double-clicking the artboard name in the Artboards panel allows you to change the name of the artboard. Clicking the artboard icon or to the right of the artboard name in the panel allows you to edit artboard options.

The artboard named Front is now fit in the Document window. Notice that when you double-click to navigate to an artboard, that artboard is also fit in the Document window. Click the X at the top of the Artboards panel group to close it. Arranging multiple documents When you open more than one document in Illustrator, the Document windows are tabbed.

You can also use the Arrange Documents menu to quickly display your open documents in a variety of configurations.

Each file has its own tab at the top of the Document window. These documents are considered a group of Document windows. You can create document groups to loosely associate files while they are open. Release the mouse button to see the new tab order. Dragging the document tabs allows you to change the order of the documents. This can be useful if you use the document shortcuts to navigate to the next or previous document.

Note Be careful to drag directly to the right. Otherwise, you could undock the Document window and create a new group. To see both of the documents at the same time, maybe to drag artwork from one to the other, you can arrange the Document windows by cascading or tiling them.

Cascading allows you to cascade stack different document groups. Tiling shows multiple Document windows at one time, in various arrangements. The available space in the Application frame is divided between the documents.

Do the same for the Document window on the right. Note Your documents may be tiled in a different order.

With documents tiled, you can drag artwork between documents, which copies them from one document to another. When you move or resize the Application frame or any of its elements, all the elements within it respond to each other so none overlap. Click the Consolidate All button to bring the documents back together. Note On Windows, menus appear in the Application bar. Click the Arrange Documents button in the Application bar to display the Arrange Documents menu again.

Click the 2-Up vertical button in the Arrange Documents menu. Data recovery When you restart Illustrator after a program crash, you have the option of recovering work-in-progress files so that your hours of work are not wasted. Review questions 1. Describe two ways to change the view of a document. How do you select a tool in Illustrator?

How do you save panel locations and visibility preferences? Describe a few ways to navigate among artboards in Illustrator. Describe how arranging Document windows can be helpful. Review answers 1. You can choose commands from the View menu to zoom in or out of a document or to fit it to your screen; you can also use the Zoom tool in the Tools panel and click or drag over a document to enlarge or reduce the view.

In addition, you can use keyboard shortcuts to magnify or reduce the display of artwork. You can also use the Navigator panel to scroll artwork or to change its magnification without using the Document window. To select a tool, you can either click the tool in the Tools panel or press the keyboard shortcut for that tool. For example, you can press V to select the Selection tool from the keyboard.

Selected tools remain active until you click a different tool. To navigate among artboards in Illustrator, you can choose the artboard number from the Artboard Navigation menu at the lower-left of the Document window; with nothing selected and while not in Artboard Editing mode, you can choose the artboard number from the Artboard Navigation menu or use the Active Artboard arrows in the Properties panel; you can use the Artboard Navigation arrows in the status bar in lower-left of the Document window to go to the first, previous, next, and last artboards; you can use the Artboards panel to navigate to artboards; or you can use the Navigator panel to drag the proxy view area to navigate between artboards.

This can be useful if you are working on multiple Illustrator files and you need to compare or share content among them. In this lesson, you learn how to locate and select objects using the Selection tools; protect other objects by grouping, hiding, and locking them; align objects to each other and the artboard; and much more.

Recognize Smart Guides. Save selections for future use. Hide and lock items. Use tools and commands to align shapes and points to each other and the artboard. Group and ungroup items. Work in Isolation mode. Starting the lesson Creating, selecting, and editing are the cornerstones of creating artwork in Adobe Illustrator. To ensure that the tools function and the defaults are set exactly as described in this lesson, delete or deactivate by renaming the Adobe Illustrator CC preferences file.

In the Save As dialog box, name the file ZooPoster. In the Illustrator Options dialog box, leave the Illustrator options at their default settings, and click OK. Using the Selection tool The Selection tool in the Tools panel lets you select, move, rotate, and resize entire objects.

Choose 2 Pieces from the Artboard Navigation menu in the lower left of the Document window. This should fit the artboard on the right into the window. The icon that appears next to the pointer as it passes over objects indicates that there is artwork under the pointer that can be selected. When you hover over an object, that object is also outlined in a color, like blue in this instance.

Select the Zoom tool in the Tools panel, and click a few times on the beige circles to zoom in. Select the Selection tool in the Tools panel and then move the pointer over the edge of the beige circle on the left. Smart Guides are temporary snap-to guides that help you align, edit, and transform objects or artboards. Click anywhere inside the circle on the left to select it. A bounding box with eight handles appears around the selected circle. The bounding box can be used to make changes to artwork vector or raster , such as resizing or rotating.

The bounding box also indicates that an item is selected and ready to be modified. The color of the bounding box indicates which layer the object is on. Using the Selection tool, click in the circle on the right. Notice that the circle on the left is now deselected and only the circle on the right is selected.

Note Note: To select an item that has no fill, you can click the stroke the edge or drag across the object. Pressing the Shift key, click the circle on the left to add it to the selection and then release the key. Both circles are now selected, and a larger bounding box surrounds them. Move the circles a short distance by pressing and dragging from inside either selected circle in the beige color.

Because both circles are selected, they move together. As you drag, you may notice that magenta lines appear. These are called alignment guides. As you drag, the objects align to other objects in the document. Measurement labels also appear because Smart Guides are turned on.

In the dialog box that appears, click Revert. Selecting and editing with the Direct Selection tool In Illustrator, as you draw, you create vector paths that are made up of anchor points and paths. Anchor points are used to control the shape of the path and work like pins holding a wire in place. A shape you create, like a square, is composed of at least four anchor points on the corners with paths connecting the anchor points.

One way to change the shape of a path or shape is by dragging its anchor points. Choose 2 from the Active Artboard menu in the Properties panel on the right. Select the Direct Selection tool in the Tools panel on the left. Click inside one of the larger green bamboo shapes to see the anchor points. Notice that the anchor points are all filled with a blue color, which means they are selected.

Move the pointer directly over the upper-right anchor point. Also notice the little white box next to the pointer. The small dot that appears in the center of the white box indicates that the cursor is positioned over an anchor point.

Click and release to select that anchor point and then move the pointer away. Notice that only the anchor point you selected is now filled with blue, indicating that it is selected, and the other anchor points in the shape are now hollow filled with white , indicating that they are not selected. With the Direct Selection tool still selected, move the pointer over the selected anchor point and then drag it to edit the shape.

Note The gray measurement label that appears as you drag the anchor point has the values dX and dY. Try clicking another point on a corner of the shape. Notice that when you select the new point, the previous point is deselected. Changing the size of anchor points, handles, and bounding box display The anchor points, handles, and bounding box points may be difficult to see at times. In the Illustrator preferences, you can adjust the size of those features.

Select the Zoom tool in the Tools panel, and click the beige circles several times to zoom in closely. Move the pointer above and to the left of the leftmost beige circle and then drag downward and to the right to create a marquee that overlaps the tops of both circles. Release the mouse button. When dragging with the Selection tool , you need to encompass only a small part of an object to select it. Select the Direct Selection tool in the Tools panel. Starting off the top left of the leftmost circle see the first part of the following figure , drag across the top edges of the two circles and then release the mouse button.

Only the top anchor points become selected. With the anchor points selected, you may see what look like little handles coming from the anchor points. Those are called direction handles, and they can be used to control the curve of the path. Make sure you drag the square anchor point and not the round end of one of the handles. Move the pointer over one of the selected anchor points at the top of a circle.

Hiding and locking objects Selecting artwork may be more difficult when there are objects stacked one on another or when there are multiple objects in a small area. Choose 1 Final Artwork from the artboard navigation menu in the lower-left. See the following figure. Notice that you drag the large blue-green shape, not the head shapes.

Locking objects prevents you from selecting and editing them. Move the pointer into the blue-green area to the left of the animal artwork and then drag across the head of the animal again, this time selecting the whole thing.
